Oracle says Micron and other conspirators, including South Korea's Hynix and Samsung and Germany's Infineon, artificially inflated prices above what Oracle's Sun Microsystems business should have paid for them.

The lawsuit says five companies agreed to a nearly $1 billion fine for price-fixing but Micron was granted amnesty from criminal prosecution because it cooperated.
Boise, Idaho-based Micron also escaped a fine in a European case in May because it brought the case to regulators there.
